Converting NTSC-PAL

[B-Twien Bytes]

Hello all,

I am taping in a SECAM-area and have the possibility to use a good NTSC-camera over a (bad)nother PAL camera.
I was wondering how difficult it is to convert the NTSC- end product to PAL?

Any experts out there? Any program suggesting?

Thanks a lot!

Consider just making it NTSC and not converting.
I think most TVs in PAL countries are multi-system, they can display NTSC as-is. Mine certainly does.

True most play both these days yet I'd like to run my NTSC DVD on a PAL player and TV set running at 50 cycles per sec to actually see how well it comes out...

I do it all the time, no problems.
Sometimes I make DVDs with both PAL and NTSC features, also no problems on the several machines and TVs I've tried here, though these are probably strictly out of spec.

You couldn't tell the difference. I have the movie CARS in NTSC and PAL versions
and cannot tell them apart.

Thanks folks for all the answers... I feel relieved and up to taping NTSC - when needed - in a PAL surrounding
